BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING (Special Cable To The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—"With the mo-vement for a beer and light wine modification of the Volstead act gaining gtround, in- creasing ouriosity concerning the attitude of President Coolidge on the whole question of prohibition is ,])ein-@ mani'fested.
Senator Mords Sheppard, (Democrat, Texas), who piloted the eighteenth amendment through the senate, is confident the président will stand with the drys 'against any modification ai' tne Volstead law. ■
Senator Walter Edge, (Republican, New Jersey), is equa lly certain that if congress authorizes beer and light wine the président will sign the bill with alacrity.
Coolidge For Enforcement.
Mr. Coolidge has made it clear that he stands for strict enforcernefit of the îaw-hut as to changes therein he has maintaihed unimpaired his well-known brand of silence.'
The new président used to take a drink of hard liquor now and then but according to the testimony of his intimâtes he swore off completely some time ago for the sarne reason as did the late Président Harding. He thought that those who enforce the law ought to set the example for obédience of the law.
It is recalled that Mr. Coolidge years ago ran as a wet for mayor of Northampton, Mass., and was elected. When 1108 was governor of Massachusetts, however, he vetoed the beer and light wine bill on légal, grounds. -,
"Ther'e is little satisfaction in attem.ptmg to deceive ourselve," Mr. Coolidge said in the veto message.

As Result
(Special Cable to The Tribune)
HARRISBURlG, Pa., Sept. 9— An points in the dispute between the anthracite operators and the miners were settled today when the form of thei p.rcposed contract for two; years was dirawn up in Governor Gifford Pinchot's room in the state .capitol here. President Lewis of the miners' fédération announces that the men will résume work on September 19.
The full sçale committee imme.diately signed the contract, and set September 17 as the ' daté for the meeting c.f the Tri-District convention to rat if y. it:'
The. miners eall the contract the best agreement that has yet been made in the history of the industry.
In the. contract provision i$ made for a thorough study of the wage scale before the expiration cf the agreement.
U. S. JUBILANT, BUT
NEW YORK, Sept. 9. — America heaved a sigh of 'rell.ef today at the prospect that the family coalbins would be filied this winter-providecl that the house-holders have the wherewithal to pay the price for the black nuggets.
It is likely that the increased cost of production will be handed on to the consumer, who already pays fifteen dollars a ton for- coal, and who wi 1 now be . charged . sixteen dollars a ton to cover the wage increase to the -miners,—an increase which represents approximately ty-five million dollars a year.
The public is indignant over the existing high price of ccai, and may demand a j;.eduetlon from the operators. In many communities 'there Are bemg organized mbvements to substitute soft coal ' and oillmrning furnaces for the l1ard ccal grates, and if these efforts spread the supply' of anthracite may soon exceed the demand.
In that event the minera will reap no advantage, as many of them will be bound to be. thrown out of employment.
FIUME PROBLEM
MENACES PEACE
BY HENRY WALES
(The Tribune Foreign News Service)
^ GENEVA, Sept. 9—With the Yugo^lav-ltalian negotiations for the settiement of the Fiume controversy broken off, Premier Pat(,bie-il of YucrüSlavia is rushing'back to L>ç.lgrade, while Italian newspapers are ûtterin<T msplred threats that Premier iHu:ssolmi may duplicate the Corfu occupation unless the Serbs yield to the , League of Nations. It is feared that another outbreak is imminent, in the Adriatic.. -
M. Ribars, a Yugo-Slav foreirrn office officiai, who has been attempting to reacl1 an accord directly with
. Senator Quartieri at, Rome, bas been recalled to Belgrade, and the-negotiations ^ have. been ruptured pending Premier Patchitcii's arrivai in the Serb capital ta" ' formulate a final policy, after interviewing various other authorities, inclucling Premier Poincaré yesterday, .. "
' DiÍsregarding the Treaty of . Rapallo fixing. Fiume's reginiÇ as an inclependent state, Premier Mussolini n.rst recalled Count Sfo.rza, tlie Italian (ielegate to Rapallo, from his p-ost. ae . ambassador in Paris,, and now refuses to recognize Count Sforza's let-ter to Lhe Belgrade government interpreting the Rapallo treaty and in-' sii&ts that- Yugo-Slavia must accept th<; port's being administered and c.ontrolled by Italy.
Itailian troops sitill remaii in Fiume. and strong Italian forces nearly encircle the diisputed port just across .tbe f routier line from a distance of one hundred yards.
Tl1e Yugo-Slavs insist upon the execution o-f t-he Rapallo treaty and equal rights-in the government and administration of the city by a parlement half Italian and half YugoSlav. but since the coup d'état overthrew the government, the new parliament is'prâctically entiirely Italiau,. Serb members not daring to raise their votées.
The D'ravest view 6f the situation is taken by t11è Yugo-ISilav délégation hère. Foreign Minister Nintchitch declines to make any statement until he bas received the latest advices from Premier Patchich, but other members of the délégation admit the situation may develop the utmost seriousness momentarily. The YugoSl,tv!z. are disheartened over the League's failure to take action on the Corfu seizure, and see the handwriting on the wall forecasting Premier Mussolini's . openly grabbing Fiume and abandoning the camouflage of an independent state even though "controlled from . Rome.

Stresemann Answered
By Poincaré At
Damvillers
BY VINCENT SHEEAN
(The Tribune Foreign News Service)
France will consider tns neg'o''liation of ecanomic accords with Germany, for the complementary industries of the two countries, after réparations have been paid : and the Ruhr problem settled, but not before, M. Poincaré told his audience at Danwillel's, near , Verdun, yesterday.
"If she wi.shes to Gave herself," the président' of the council assertecl, "there is still time to do sa; but. if she persists in lier présent, methods, she will dra.w upon herseh' catastrophes for which we shall Hort bear the responsabilité "
In regard to Herr Stresemann's oïfer of "ail Germany" as security for réparations, insteao. of the Ruhr alone, M. Poi:ncaré'6 answer was su'fîlclently courteous but very négative.
"To thèse theoretical çigfrts, however extensive, wc should prefer the positive seeurity we, hold in our hands now: \ve s.liall not relc8ise that securily ag:ajnst général pledges, which might perhaps be excellent on paper. but the product of wlJic1J would esca.pe us."
Up To Germany.
He reiterated his détermination .to remain in the Ruhr until paynient was made, and to refuse direct conversations until the passive résistance has ceased.
But "the German government, h as only to couse throwing billions info the Ruhr," M. Poincaré advised. ' to obtaitl not only ils 0\\"11 financial 'réhabilitation but a fair conversation direct with FrancR.

.Damvillers, al m os t wiped mit in the months of battle at Verdun, hait'rebuilt now but still a visible reminder of the four years' surge of \var over the eastern departments of France. During his sr-eech M. Poincaré seemed happy to refer to his owù. l'arnity's one-tinie connection with the soil of Lorraine, as when he said "wc peasanti" to his Danwillers peasant audience.
lu asking' that tliis économie accord be reached now, as Chancellor Stresemann did in lais speech at Stuttgart last Sunday, the chancellor . was "putting tl18 cart before the horse," tiie French premier said.
But M. Poincaré, answering Herr StresenW1l11\3 coaciliatory speech, took care to make it clear that the French g-ovennnent recos'nizes the . complementary nature of French and German industries, and the advantage whicli \\-oLil(l be îound one day in industrial accords uniting the two countries.
' "Last Januarv Cllancellor Cuno had such conversations with German ■ indusirials offered to me. through hit; ambassador in Pari.':, with a view to preparing accords with French industrialists." M. Poincaré said.
"It is true that Germany, producing ! coai, and France, producing iron, i will find it to their advantage to i corne to an agreement. But those | Frenchman who have the greatest j interest in thèse economic conversa- I tions understood that before prepar- I ing them they ehonlcl allow the government of the republic to obtain, ln the problem of reparation. certaintles and results "

In ibis note, the govet-nment will confine itself to accepting the ternis, leaving the fixing of the dale for the ceremonies and the machinery of the formation of the commission "to the ambassadors' conférence.
In order to give a, voluntary and sincere'"' complexion to the fanerai services, the government may order their cele.bratio.n irrJmecliatcly.
